FYI..... these are the specs from OEM '02-'04 Z06 wheels:
Wheels made by Speedline (stamped on the inside of a spoke), Argent color
Front: 17"x9.5" / 54mm offset/ 19.2 lbs/
Rear: 18"x10.5" / 58mm offset/ 21.0 lbs/
As previously mentioned, the '01 Z06 had wheels made by Alcoa. They probably had the same offsets, but I don't know the weights.
There were no OEM chrome wheels. Some people have the Z-16 polished aluminum OEM wheels and call them chrome and some people had their Alcoa or Speedline wheels chromed, to get the chrome look without the weight of aftermarket chrome wheels.

None of the 2001-2004 stock Z06 wheels came chromed from the factory (the 2004 Z16 came with polished rims). Argent silver is the color. Don't know part number. Speedline was the manufacturer from 2002-2004 (spun cast and weigh slightly less), Alcoa was the manufacturer in 2001 and they were forged).
There's always some for sale in the C5 parts for sale section.

oem rims
I've been absolutely all over the internet... z06vette, smokinvette, this forum... I am looking for an answer to my questions of
What wheels came stock with the z06 that aren't chrome? What color are they officially called (argent?)? What is their part number? Are they manufactured by Speedline or another company?
The only place I have found with an actual picture of the ones I want is "House of Wheels" but they don't have any in stock. Anybody got any suggestions?

Bought my 2nd set of OEMs for the Z this fall that came off an 04 with 1K miles on the car for $550. I've seen 01s that have a different shade than my 02 wheels or the 04's shade. Both sets of mine looked the same.
I've never heard of any CHROME OEM wheels, just the Z16 polished wheels on the 04s.
Alot of people that don't know better called them chrome, too.

The only non-painted Z06 wheels that were available as an option were the polished Z06 wheels of the Z16 package....which look hella sharp to me. The Chevy dealership I bought my 04 Z from, was extremely insistent that Z06's came with runflats.

The 01 wheels just have GM stamped on the back and a Gm part number, the 02 to 04 wheels are made by speedline of italy.
Some say the wheels from an 01 are a different color, I have a set of each and they are exactly the same color.
If you want to see the color of the wheels go to any parts store that has the dupilcolor 2 oz. touch up bottels the part number is NG GM 435, this is the exact color of the wheels.

I have an 02 with speedlines
Bought 01 Alcoa rears for the front of my car.
The color is different and the spokes are different as well.

Let me jump in
I need 2 OEM rears for my '03 Z06. If anyone is selling, please let me know. If you are selling a full set, that could be ok as well, just let me know regardless.
I'm looking for wheels that do not have any curb rashes, scrapes, etc. as my current rears and fronts do not.

I'd love it if someone came through for me!

I am getting my z06 in a couple weeks and then ordering CCW wheels.
I will be selling all 4 wheels with tires on them.
I do not know the condition of the wheels yet, as I don't have the car yet, but the car only has 8,800 miles on them, so I am assuming they will be in good shape.

The Speedline wheels were put on sometime in the 2002 run (after GM use up all the Alcoa wheels). So it hard to say when they switch over. Part numbers for speedlines are
Front: 9594808 & 9594809
Rear: 9594810 & 9594811
Front: 9594808 & 9594809
Rear: 9594810 & 9594811

The Alcoa's are FORGED and slightly stronger than the Speedlines.
The Spedlines are slightly lighter though.
Comparing side by side in person I find that the Alcoa's are just a pinch darker in color.
I met a guy who bought a used 2001 Z06 and I went to look at his wheels. One side had Speedlines, and the other side had Alcoa's.
I picked that out immediately. He said he never noticed....
